New approach to the risk management concept based on the assessment of damages (in % of GDP), probability of occurrence and necessary measures to create resilient society is presented. Several theoretical models are investigated and compared. The "acceptable risk" concept is developed based on the preventive measures and expected results. „Resilient”, „Transition” and „Forbidden” areas related to the damages and probability of occurrence are graphically defined. The classification is based on two main factors (probability of occurrence and potential damage) associated with risk processes and phenomena that develop and run in the „Resilient", „Transition" and „Forbidden” areas. Satellite data and information related to the specific characteristics of the natural hazards and disasters are used.
